Comments:

1. "the airline became a state-owned airline" sounds wordy, I would suggest changing to "it became a state-owned airline".

   Amended as suggested. Aviator006 (talk) 02:51, 24 September 2009 (UTC)

2. Is it necessary to have "decade" linked?

   Wikilink removed as suggested. Aviator006 (talk) 02:51, 24 September 2009 (UTC)

3. Japan Air Lines Co., Ltd. and Japan Air Lines should not be bolded in the Regulated era section.

   Removed bolding as suggested. Aviator006 (talk) 02:51, 24 September 2009 (UTC)

4. The sentence "On February 2, 1954, the airline began its first international service, flying from Tokyo to San Francisco, carrying 18 passengers." sounds very choppy.

   Sentence reworded to "On February 2, 1954 the airline began its first international service, carrying 18 passengers from Tokyo to San Francisco." Aviator006 (talk) 02:51, 24 September 2009 (UTC)

5. The sentence "Under the 45/47 system (45/47体制, yon'go-yonnana taisei?), the so-called "aviation constitution" enacted by the Japanese government in 1972, JAL was granted flag carrier status to operate international routes, and was also designated to operate domestic trunk routes in competition with All Nippon Airways and Toa Domestic Airlines" sounds wordy.

   Sentence reworded and splitted to "In 1972, under the 45/47 system (45/47体制, yon'go-yonnana taisei?), the so-called "aviation constitution" enacted by the Japanese government, JAL was granted flag carrier status to operate international routes. The airline was also designated to operate domestic trunk routes in competition with All Nippon Airways and Toa Domestic Airlines." Aviator006 (talk) 02:51, 24 September 2009 (UTC)

6. "to accommodate its growing list of routes within Japan and to other countries";, is it necessary to have "list of" in the sentence? It sounds awkward.

   Removed as suggested. Aviator006 (talk) 02:51, 24 September 2009 (UTC)

7. "Nowadays in 2009" sounds awkward, "Currently" works better.

   Updated to "Through 2009". Aviator006 (talk) 02:51, 24 September 2009 (UTC)

8. Remove second link to 45/47 system.

   Wikilink removed as suggested.Aviator006 (talk) 02:51, 24 September 2009 (UTC)

9. Who was the prime minister that flew to Peru in 1997?

   Ryutaro Hashimoto added. Aviator006 (talk) 02:51, 24 September 2009 (UTC)

10. I am a little concerned with the split tag at top of the Potential negotiations with American Airlines and Delta Air Lines section. Can this issue be addressed?
11. Can the references in the Potential negotiations with American Airlines and Delta Air Lines section be properly formatted?

    References reformatted, dead references replaced. Aviator006 (talk) 02:51, 24 September 2009 (UTC)

12. Can the bolded terms in the Organization section be unbolded and be bolded in the lead instead?

    All bolding removed. Aviator006 (talk) 02:51, 24 September 2009 (UTC)

13. The paragraph "JALways, whose fleet is entirely made of Boeing 747 aircraft, has painted all of its aircraft with tropical-influenced liveries along with Reso'cha titles. These aircraft are used on charter flights to holiday destinations in the Pacific, such as Hawaii. Reso'cha is a marketing abbreviation for Resort Charter. Reso'cha planes were formerly known as JAL Super Resort Express." needs to be cited.

    Citation added. Aviator006 (talk) 02:51, 24 September 2009 (UTC)

14. The sentence "One aircraft, JA8543, operated as Japan Airlines Flight 736 from Hong Kong International Airport to Narita International Airport, touched down at 16:05. Another aircraft, JA8541, operated as Japan Airlines Flight 952 from Incheon International Airport to Narita International Airport, touched down at 16:37, marking the DC-10's last flight with the airline ending over 30 years of operations for this model." is wordy and needs to be split into two sentences.

    Sentence splitted as "One aircraft, JA8543, operated as Japan Airlines Flight 736 from Hong Kong International Airport to Narita International Airport, touched down at 16:05. Another aircraft, JA8541, operated as Japan Airlines Flight 952 from Incheon International Airport to Narita International Airport, touched down at 16:37. This marked the DC-10's last flight with the airline, ending over 30 years of operations for this model." Aviator006 (talk) 02:51, 24 September 2009 (UTC)

15. Do not use second person in article, such as in "without having the seat in front of you tilt back into your space when reclining".

    Reworded to "without having the seat in front intrude when reclining." Aviator006 (talk) 02:51, 24 September 2009 (UTC)

16. The sentence "The MAGIC-III system was introduced on December 1, 2007, provides Audio/Video On Demand (AVOD) entertainment to all passengers." sounds awkward.

    Reworded to "Introduced on December 1, 2007, the MAGIC-III system provides Audio/Video On Demand (AVOD) entertainment to all passengers." Aviator006 (talk) 02:51, 24 September 2009 (UTC)

I am placing the article on hold. Dough4872 (talk) 16:20, 23 September 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for the suggestions. Changes have been made on all points mentioned, except the split article; wordy sentences have been split or modified; bold has been removed and confined to the lead; references added, wikilinks adjusted, 2nd person changed. For the split article, a decision is likely forthcoming. SynergyStar (talk) 00:03, 24 September 2009 (UTC)

All the comments have been reviewed and updated by SynergyStar, with minor updates modified by myself. We are awaiting for the editor of the "Partner airline negotiations" section to decide what action to take in regards to the potential split of that section into a separate article. Talkback sent to Bigtop to remind him of further action required. Aviator006 (talk) 02:51, 24 September 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for handling the communiques with regards to the split article issue. Upon review of the proposed split article, and also the additional talk page discussion, I no longer recommend against splitting. At this time, I defer to the editors who are following and compiling the relevant references to make a decision on that. Naturally that will need to be resolved in a timely fashion for the GA review purposes. SynergyStar (talk) 03:50, 24 September 2009 (UTC)

I will pass the aritcle pending the concern of the separate article will eventually be resolved. Dough4872 (talk) 21:46, 24 September 2009 (UTC)

I think the split could eventually become notable. It seems that JAL is receiving a LOT of news regarding on their restructuring plans... Bigtop 22:25, 24 September 2009 (UTC)

Thank you Dough4872 for the successful GA review and suggestions. Regards, SynergyStar (talk) 05:05, 25 September 2009 (UTC)
